    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Sevoflurane is a “new” volatile inhaled anaesthetic. Owing to its lower blood-gas solubility coefficient, emergence from anaesthesia is faster with sevoflurane than with isoflurane, enflurane, or halothane. Sevoflurane undergoes metabolic biodegradation, releasing inorganic fluoride ions that could produce nephrotoxicity. In this study, we compared serum inorganic fluoride concentrations (IFCs) in patients receiving either sevoflurane or enflurane. Furthermore, indices of renal function were evaluated until the 3rd postoperative day. Methods. Thirty patients with no history of renal or hepatic disease and with an anticipated duration of anaesthesia of at least 3 h were studied in an open, prospective, randomised clinical trial. Anaesthesia was induced with fentanyl, thiopentone, and vecuronium for facilitating endotracheal intubation. Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane or enflurane, 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen, and additional doses of fentanyl. Blood samples for serum IFCs were obtained preoperatively and 2 and, if possible, 4 and 6 h after starting sevoflurane or enflurane, at the end of anaesthesia, and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-anaesthesia. Fluoride analysis was performed using an ion-selective electrode. Indices of renal function (serum sodium, osmolality, creatinine, urea, and uric acid, urine specific gravity, osmolality, and pH) were evaluated preoperatively, at the end of anaesthesia, and 24, 48, and 72 h post-anaesthesia. Results. The duration of anaesthetic exposure was approximately 1.65 MAC-h for both inhaled anaesthetics. Peak serum IFCs were higher with sevoflurane (34.5 μmol/l) than with enflurane (19.4 μmol/l). Fluoride levels decreased more rapidly with sevoflurane: 24 h post-anaesthesia there was no difference between sevoflurane and enflurane (Fig. 1). The area under the curve (AUC) was greater with sevoflurane (688 μmol/l·h) than with enflurane (591 μmol/l·h). For both groups correlation coefficients were higher for MAC-h and AUC than for MAC-h and peak serum IFC (Figs. 2 and 3). Indices of renal function did not change in either group. Discussion. In our study 1.69 MAC-h sevoflurane produced peak serum IFCs of 34.5 μmol/l. This is in accordance with the investigation of Frink et al. [4], who reported approximately 30 μmol/l after 1.4 MAC-h sevoflurane. Peak serum IFCs with sevoflurane were twice those with enflurane. Within the first 24 h post-anaesthesia, fluoride levels decreased more rapidly after sevoflurane. AUC may be more important than peak serum IFC in evaluating patients who are at risk for renal concentrating defects. In our study there was no evidence of renal dysfunction in either group.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In einer offenen, randomisierten, prospektiven und vergleichenden Studie zwischen Sevofluran und Enfluran wurden bei 30 nierengesunden Patienten die Serumfluoridkonzentrationen und die exokrine Nierenfunktion bis zum 3. postoperativen Tag untersucht. Die applizierte Dosis betrug in beiden Gruppen ca. 1,65 MAC-Stunden. Die maximale Serumfluoridkonzentration war mit 34,5 μmol/l nach Sevofluran fast doppelt so hoch wie nach Enfluran (19,4 μmol/l). 24 h nach Anästhesieende war die Serumfluoridkonzentration in der Sevoflurangruppe auf ca. 25% des Maximalwerts abgefallen, in der Enflurangruppe auf ca. 40% des Maximalwerts. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt war kein Unterschied mehr zwischen den beiden Gruppen nachweisbar. Die Fluoridbelastung (Area under the curve, AUC) war nach Sevofluran (688 μmol/l·h) etwas größer als nach Enfluran (591 μmol/l·h). Die Korrelation von MAC-Stunden (applizierte Dosis) und AUC war in beiden Gruppen besser als die von MAC-Stunden und maximaler Serumfluoridkonzentration. Veränderungen von Laborvariablen (Natrium, Osmolalität, Kreatinin, Harnstoff und Harnsäure i.S., spez. Gewicht, Osmolalität und pH-Wert i.U.), die auf eine Nierenschädigung hinweisen würden, wurden nicht nachgewiesen.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Piritramide is a lipophilic opioid, which is widely used for postoperative analgesia and analgosedation in Europe. In this study we investigated the influence of various protein concentrations (total protein, 1-acid glycoprotein, albumin) and the postoperative acute phase response on the protein binding of piritramide. Methods: The influence of various protein concentrations on the protein binding of piritramide was investigated by either diluting the serum samples of five volunteers with isotonic saline or by adding different amounts of 1-acid glycoprotein. Albumin binding was measured in a 5% human albumin solution. The impact of the postoperative acute phase response was investigated by obtaining daily serum samples from 18 surgical patients until the third postoperative day, and measuring piritramide protein binding, 1-acid glycoprotein, total protein and albumin. Results: There was a significant relationship between piritramide protein binding and the concentrations of total protein and 1-acid glycoprotein. The binding to albumin was 88%. During the postoperative acute phase response, the protein binding of piritramide did not change. Serum concentrations of 1-acid glycoprotein increased, whereas total protein and albumin decreased. Conclusion: Although there were significant changes in the piritramide-binding proteins, 1-acid glycoprotein and albumin, during the postoperative acute phase response, the protein binding of piritramide did not change. Therefore, a change in protein binding, which might be one factor to be considered in determining piritramide dosage in the postoperative period, does not have to be taken into account.

    Notes: Abstract  The study was performed to evaluate abdominal complications related to jejunal segment resection for reconstruction after radical oropharyngeal tumor resection. Perioperative complications of 104 patients (median age, 53.7 years; 23 female; 81 male) who underwent surgery for oropharyngeal malignancy after radiochemotherapy and the long-term morbidity of 35 patients after a median follow-up period of 21 months are analyzed. The perioperative mortality was 8.7% (9/104); none of the perioperative deaths was caused by an abdominal complication associated with the jejunal resection. In three cases, repeat laparotomy was performed within 30 days of jejunal autotransplantation: in two of them the reason was not directly associated with bowel resection and one patient had an abdominal wall dehiscence. In six cases there were minor abdominal complications which could be treated nonsurgically. There was no anastomotic leakage, bowel obstruction or postoperative bleeding. In the follow-up re-examination, no late onset abdominal complications were noted except small incisional hernias in six of the 35 patients; only one required a hernia repair. Despite a potentially increased operative risk in these patients, the complication rate after bowel resection for jejunal autotransplantation was low. This is a safe procedure in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary During ENT surgical procedures under general anesthesia contamination of the operating room air through waste anesthetic gases seems unavoidable. A resulting chronic low-level exposure to anesthetic gases in subanesthetic concentrations (ml/m3=ppm) may cause various negative health effects. The aim of this study was to quantify possible side effects on operating room personnel. By using a highly sensitive, direct reading instrument for determining contamination leakage from a patient's mouth and resulting concentrations in the breathing zone of the surgeon and anesthetist, levels of isoflurane and nitrous oxide were measured at 2-min intervals during 20 ENT surgical procedures performed under usual workplace conditions. Despite high concentrations of anesthetic at the mouth of each patient, personnel-related mean values remained under recommended threshold values (TLV) of 10 ppm isoflurane. A TLV of 100 ppm nitrous oxide was exceeded in 20% of the operations. Furthermore, a safe TLV for pregnant staff was 25 ppm nitrous oxide. This value was exceeded during nearly all operations (93%) for the group “surgeon”. High leakages at the patient's mouth led to an undesirably high contamination of operating room personnel by nitrous oxide. Although threshold values were mostly not exceeded in available working conditions (i.e., adequate air conditioning and intubation cuff pressure control), present health and safety regulations concerning pregnant women showed that the values of nitrous oxide were still too high to allow such women to work safely in operating rooms during surgery. However, exposure to isoflurane was too slight to classify.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei HNO-ärztlichen Eingriffen unter Allgemeinanästhesie findet eine Kontamination der Operationssaalraumluft durch Narkosegase in subanästhetischen Konzentrationsbereichen (ml/m 3 =ppm) statt. Eine daraus resultierende chronische Exposition kann möglicherweise zu Gesundheitsschäden führen. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Belastung des Operationspersonals zu quantifizieren. Mittels eines hochempfindlichen, direktanzeigenden Meßgeräts wurde die Kontamination an der Leckagequelle „Mundöffnung des Patienten“ und die daraus für Operateur und Anästhesist resultierende Belastung durch Isofluran und Stickoxydul in 2-min-Intervallen bestimmt. Die Messungen erfolgten unter modernen Arbeitsplatzbedingungen während 20 HNO-ärztlichen Eingriffen unter Allgemeinanästhesie. Trotz hoher Konzentrationen an der Mundöffnung der Patienten blieben die mittleren Belastungen für das operative Personal bezüglich Isofluran unter der Grenzwertempfehlung von 10 ppm. Der Stickoxydulgrenzwert von 100 ppm wurde bei 20% der Eingriffe überschritten. Der für Beschäftigungsverbote für schwangere Frauen maßgebliche Schwellenwert von 25 ppm Stickoxydul wurde für die Personengruppe „Operateur“ bei nahezu allen Eingriffen (93%) überschritten. Leckagen am Beatmungstubus führen zu einer unerwünscht hohen Belastung des operativen Personals mit Stickoxydul. Eine Grenzwertüberschreitung findet wegen moderner Arbeitsbedingungen (Klimatechnik, Cuffdruckkontrolle) in den meisten Fällen nicht statt, sind aber dennoch zu hoch, um eine Tätigkeit gefährdeter Personen (z.B. Schwangere) im Operationssaal (OP) zu gestatten. Die Belastung durch Isofluran ist dagegen als gering einzustufen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Rekonstruktion im Mundhöhlen-, Pharynx- und im kranialen Ösophagusbereich nach ausgedehnten, radikalen Tumorresektionen stellt eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung dar. Eine vielfach favorisierte Technik ist die rekonstruktive Jejunumautotransplantation, bei welcher der Abdominalchirurg mit der Gewinnung des Autotransplantats beauftragt ist. Die Notwendigkeit des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs macht die vorgestellte Analyse der perioperativen Komplikationen bei der Jejunumentnahme notwendig. Zusätzlich wurden 35 von 66 noch lebenden Patienten mit einem Nachuntersuchungsintervall von durchschnittlich 21 (2–63) Monaten bezüglich abdominaler Spätkomplikationen evaluiert. Bei 90 wegen eines Malignoms der Mundhöhle oder des Oropharynx operierten Patienten war die perioperative Letalität 7,8% (7/90), in keinem Fall auf Basis einer entnahmeassoziierten abdominalen Komplikation. Eine abdominale Revision erfolgte wegen subkutaner Bauchdeckendehiszenz. Aus nicht mit der Dünndarmentnahme in direktem Zusammenhang stehender Ursache mußten 4 Patienten relaparotomiert werden (2 noch während des Krankenhausaufenthalts, 2 Patienten nach erfolgter Entlassung). Bei 5 Patienten wurden konservativ behandelbare minimale Komplikationen festgestellt. Die Nachuntersuchung zeigte außer in 6 Fällen mit kleinen Narbenhernien keine Spätkomplikationen auf. Insgesamt ist festzuhalten, daß trotz des zumeist erhöhten perioperativen Risikos dieses Patientenguts die Komplikationsrate des zusätzlichen Abdominaleingriffs zur Gewinnung des optimalen Rekonstruktionsgewebes gering und vertretbar erscheint.
    Notes: Abstract Reconstruction after radical tumor resection in the oropharyngeal region still represents an interdisciplinary challenge. Autotransplantation of the jejunum is a popular procedure, in which the abdominal surgeon's main task is that of harvesting enteral tissue. To evaluate this technique, a careful analysis of accompanying perioperative abdominal complications was performed. Additionally, we reexamined 35 of 66 patients still living after a follow-up period of 21 (range 2–63) months on average. The perioperative mortality of 90 patients treated for oropharyngeal malignancy using the described procedure was 7.8%. None of the perioperative deaths was caused by an abdominal complication associated with enteral resection. One abdominal reoperation was performed because of abdominal wall dehiscence. For reasons not related to enteral resection, four further patients had to be relaparotomized, two of them during their hospital stay and two after leaving hospital. In five cases we observed minor complications which could be treated nonsurgically. In the follow-up reexamination we detected no abdominal late-onset complication except small incisional hernias in six cases. Finally, we concluded that despite an elevated overall operative risk in this population, complications owing to jejunal resection were comparably low. The data regarding the rate of complications classify jejunal resection as a safe procedure for reconstructive purposes in patients suffering from oropharyngeal malignancy.
